2023 Alaska Winter Activity Guide

There are lots of reasons to head indoors in winter... and not just to escape the cold! Here are our favorites.

28 Alaska Native Heritage Center. This Anchorage cultural center offers an in-depth look at Alaskan Native life—with a big focus on Alaska Natives. Watch dancing, listen to stories, meet carvers, and hear from artists. Outside, check out life-size traditional native dwellings. You’ll see how Alaska Native history is not a collection of artifacts behind glass, but rather a living, dynamic culture that you can experience firsthand. 8800 Heritage Center Dr, Anchorage; 907-330-8000
